There are several other Google+ named groups in the 10 - 50 member size range, and there are various Google-related groups in languages other than English - in fact the number of "exodus" groups maybe approaching 100. As MeWe is group focused, some communities from Google+ may not have Google in their name at all and be indistinguishable. Individuals can join unlimited number of groups (unlimited < infinity). There is no common stream - only group-posted content. If you are not in the group, you cannot see the content

[https://www.minds.com Minds] has a "Google+ Refugees" community of 217 members. The site is a mix of public feed and groups (analogous to communities on G+) a bit token system linked to an e-currency allows the community to self-fund and content providers may be able to monetize their efforts. Some will find the token system disconcerting, but it is not mandatory for basic use of the site. There are hundreds of established groups of varying quality, just like on G+, or it is simple to set up a new community and wall out the barbarians. Content can be posted to a group OR publicly. All group posts appear in the public stream.
